Veeam: Designed for VMware and Hyper-V

As a Veeam partner, Great Lakes Computer is excited to share the many benefits that Veeam software can provide your virtualized environment. In fact, for those looking to simplify their backup and recovery for VMware, Hyper-V, or even mixed virtual environments, Veeam is the number one choice in the market.

An agentless, software-based solution, Veeam provides backup and replication for both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. Powerful and easy-to-use, Veeam Backup & Replication 7 allows you to save time and eliminate risk, while meeting stringent Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs).

By delivering image-based backup, Veeam is able to provide quicker, more efficient VM backup and recovery of an entire VM, file, or application item. Combined with industry-leading features such as instant VM recovery, granular file and application recovery and more, Veeam allows you to backup every VM every day, reducing backup and recovery times by up to 95%.

Leveraging a virtualization-specific approach, Veeam also offers offsite backup to the cloud through Veaam Backup and Replication Cloud Edition, for a viable alternative to tape that is both easily accessible and reliable. Not to say that tape backup isn’t an option – the recently released Veeam Backup & Replication v7 offers three options for archiving Veeam backups – disk, cloud and tape.

Veeam is licensed per CPU socket and doesn’t deal with per-application or per-VM fees, allowing for a cost-effective approach to obtaining the most comprehensive protection of your virtualized environment. This is because Veeam includes backup, replication, de-duplication, multi-hypervisor support, and centralized management.
